Professional Acoustical Engineers often add wall treatments and even move walls and relocate speakers to improve system performance, but for the average Home Theatre, this is either too expensive or just not a practical solution. - Page 23 NAD engineers have done extensive research in this area of room acoustics, and along with Audyssey engineers developed what we believe is the ideal ‘in room’ response curve. We include this NAD EQ, along with an Audyssey developed EQ as the two best choices. The response curves shown below typify NAD EQ room correction process.
